I really don't know how necessary a warning would be at this point in my
life, I would rather be clear on how to handle the situation rather than have
to sort through fear in a split second decision. For example I really don't
think I would need a warning to tell me not to jump off a building. I feel
somewhat self assured that somewhere in my mind I would be able to say to
myself "Jumping off this building could be counter productive." So I have
very little reservations in loosing fear. I would be more worried about
loosing the adrenaline that comes with fear.
